Scientists in the US have achieved nuclear fusion ignition multiple times, whereby the reaction produces more energy than is injected into it.
Researchers at the National Ignition Facility are consistently creating reactions that make more energy than they consume. Researchers at the National Ignition Facility are consistently creating reactions that make more energy than they consume.
The DOE plans to award $42 million in research and development funding to realize practical inertial fusion technology.
